This inevitably made Zhu Di suspicious!

In reality, Zhu Yunwen wanted to use this point to lay the groundwork for Zhu Di's suspicion.

Zhu Di was very suspicious, and he would never keep untrustworthy people around him.

Before his time travel, Zhu Yunwen was very familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty navigator, Ma Sanbao, who changed his name to Zheng He, was also very interested in him.

Knowing that Ma Sanbao's ancestors were Muslims, and that he himself was also a Muslim.

That's why they used this as a breakthrough point, and with just a few simple words, they made Ma Sanbao immediately become very excited.

This was enough to make Zhu Di suspect that Ma Sanbao was deliberately pandering to Zhu Yunwen.

Because Zhu Di had reason to believe that such a coincidence was unlikely.

It's too much of a coincidence that Zhu Yunwen mentioned Islam and Ma Sanbao happened to be a follower of Islam.

Therefore, Zhu Di would definitely interpret this as Ma Sanbao deliberately trying to curry favor with Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen continued, with an interested expression, saying:

"Huh? You're a Muslim? No way!"

“Your Highness, I was born into a devout Muslim family. My grandfather and father were all devout Muslims. In my childhood, I must have received a formal basic Islamic religious education. So I have always been a believer in Islam. I never expected that Your Highness would also be interested in Islam.”

Zhu Yunwen immediately became happy and said:

"What a coincidence! I've always been interested in Islam and have great admiration for you Muslims. I never expected you to be one. So, if there's a chance, we can exchange ideas."

Ma Sanbao nodded and hurriedly said, "I am honored to have Your Highness think so highly of me."

However, at this moment, Zhu Di's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

He gave Ma Sanbao a deep look and thought to himself, "Zhu Yuntong says he's interested in Islam, so you should say you also believe in Islam."

Zhu Yuntong said he admired Muslims, and you immediately tried to prove that your ancestors had always been Muslims.

Zhu Di was clearly very dissatisfied and suspicious of Zhu Di's eagerness to show off.

The name Ma Sanbao has been erased from my mind.

He was very suspicious, and this person had already aroused her doubts, making her feel that Ma Sanbao was not so loyal to her.

Zhu Di was not comfortable using someone who constantly tried to show off in various ways.

So he rolled his eyes and started to say, in his self-righteousness:

“Third nephew, since you are interested in Islam, and Ma Sanbao is a follower of Islam, how about this: I will entrust this person to you. This will also give you more opportunities to discuss your common topics. What do you think?”

Zhu Yunwen paused for a moment, then glanced at Ma Sanbao and said to Zhu Di:

"That's not right. After all, he's your talented son, Uncle Si. I can't take away his love."

This Ma Sanbao not only possesses considerable military ability, but he is also tall and robust, and his martial arts skills are not weak. He is destined for greatness. Fourth Uncle should keep him by his side as his right-hand man.

Zhu Di's face was very grim. The more Zhu Yunwen said this, the more uneasy he felt about keeping Ma San by his side.

Because what Zhu Yunwen said was indeed reasonable; a talent like Ma Sanbao is truly rare.

However, if you can't fully trust him, then keeping him around is like a ticking time bomb.

Especially since Ma Sanbao is showing a lot of interest in talking to Zhu Yunwen right now, it's possible that if the two of them get too close in the future, they might become someone Zhu Yunwen has planted in Zhu Di's camp.

Zhu Di himself had his own plans and secrets, and keeping trusted people by his side was extremely unsafe.

Moreover, it was Ma Sanbao, a man who aroused his deep suspicions.

So Zhu Di shook his head and said:

“There are many talented people, but few are truly willing to help others achieve their goals. Although Ma Sanbao is a talented person, there are many talented people like him in the world. However, there may not be many who can get along with you, Third Nephew. Don’t let your Fourth Uncle’s good intentions go to waste. If you refuse again, your Fourth Uncle will get angry.”

The implication is clear: Zhu Di must get rid of this potential threat to Zhu Yunwen today, no matter what, and cannot keep him by his side.

Seeing that Zhu Di had gone this far, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:

"Very well, then thank you very much, Fourth Uncle. Look, I came here to eat and drink your food, and you still send me talent? I am truly ashamed."

Although his words were eloquent, he was secretly overjoyed.

Thinking to himself, with just a little trickery, he managed to get this great navigator from Zhu Di, which really saved him a lot of trouble.

Indeed, Ma Sanbao was very important to Zhu Yunwen at this time.

Zhu Yunwen wanted him to go to various overseas countries to exchange for grain seeds, and at the same time establish diplomatic relations with many overseas countries.

It would be a great thing if the Ming Dynasty could achieve the goal of all nations paying tribute, worshipping the Ming, and obtaining abundant resources.

Perhaps someone else could have done the same.

But if we send Ma Sanbao, it will definitely go smoothly.

Zhu Yunwen didn't need to take the risk of finding someone else; there were too many unknown possibilities. Therefore, finding Ma Sanbao was the safest option.
